Food is more than just sustenance. It can be a medium for socialising and bringing people together, a way of venting our emotions and a way of opening our minds to new things. Food plays such an important part in our social lives that we choose to celebrate special occasions over a meal. For something more out of the ordinary for these special occasions, how about expanding our minds even further and pairing food with art?
Here are a selection of restaurants doing just that:
Dine Art
Situated in Wong Chuk Hang, on the 16th floor of Kwai Bo Industrial Building, is a 4,000 square foot kitchen that’s just brimming with art. With an open kitchen on the side, this private kitchen serves comfort Italian cuisine using only the best ingredients to create those robust Italian flavours. Not only is the setting much more private than going to a bustling restaurant in the heart of the city, the dining experience will also be one to remember; with paintings and works of art to ponder on every wall while you feast with friends.
